Things you need for an eyelash tint:
Combinal Eyelash Tint Kit (black dye safe for eyelashes, brush applicator, oxidant, petri dish)
Vaseline
Q-Tips
Cotton Pads
Tissue
Bowl of cold water
I went to school for Esthetics at Blanche Macdonald, so I learned how to tint eyelashes professionally. However, they do sell eyelash tinting supplies in select stores and if you can get your hands on a home dyeing kit, you can tint at home. It is important to have someone else do it to you, as this is quite impossible to do so yourself.
It’s very important to have your clients eyes closed for the remainder of the eyelash tint to prevent irritation of the eyes (or even blindness).
To start, cut a circle makeup pad in half and coat one side of both pads with Vaseline. Lay the pads under each eye and make sure to have the bottom lashes on top of the pad so they can get dyed too. Next with a q-tip, apply Vaseline to the eyelid to prevent colour from being spread to unwanted areas.
Mix the dye with the oxidant to a creamy texture. Make sure it’s not runny as this will seep into the eye and cause discomfort. Once you have a perfectly creamy texture, add the dye to the lashes with a small makeup brush from root to tip. Cover all the eyelash hairs so they are rich in colour. Let the colour stand for 7-10 minutes.
When you are ready to take the dye off, get 2 tissues and with one motion wipe off both cotton pads. Then have your client sit up with their eyes closed. Soak and wring out 2 cotton pads and wipe the remainder of the tint off using a windshield wiper movement. Go from side to side and underneath back and forth until there is no colour left on the pad. To be safe give your client a damp cotton pad to remove any remainders of tint once more before you have them open their eyes.
When you know it is safe and there is no remaining colour have your client open their eyes. Hand them a mirror, and voila, they have beautiful dark lashes!
